    Monday mornings within an hour of waking up. I don't deviate or have cheat days really, so Mondays are like any day of the week.

    I weigh myself Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.. But I only record it on Friday ! Why Friday, because it's the day that came out of the hat when I stuck my hand in and pulled out a day :).. !! The day does not matter, just do it on the same day each week and preferably first thing in the morning.. Oh and if possible, nekid !!!

    My weigh in day is Fridays. Although I weigh myself everyday just because I can't help myself. I don't like weighing in on Mondays because I tend to eat my worst over the weekend and my weight goes up because of salt intake. But I weigh first thing in the morning, after I pee and butt naked...same scale same spot in the bathroom. :)

    Same!

    Tuesdays. The doctors appointment that made me wanna lose weight was a Tuesday. I didn't have a scale and my next apointment was Tuesday 2 weeks later. That's when I found I lost my first 10 pounds. So I stick with tuesdays simply because its exactly a week. Sometimes I cheat and weigh in more(like the last few days lol)

    I weigh every morning. I can fluctuate up to 5 lbs in one day, so always in the morning. I tend to see the scale move more on Tuesdays, so of course, I like Tuesdays. I have wondered if I will change the daily routine once I reach goal ( which is a long way off presently)

    Friday mornings. No real reason. I tend to eat more at weekends and exercise less. I usually weigh myself every 3 weeks or so; I tend to notice progress from how my clothes fit.

    I weigh every day. I want to understand normal fluctuations. I don't want to weigh only on one day of the week and end up having one of those "normal fluctuations" that particular morning and show little to no loss, without understanding WHY.

    That said, I only record my weight - loss or gain - on MFP about once a week. Except this week I recorded twice because I felt like it :laugh:

    I tend to vary usually on a day I haven't been to the gym mainly Fridays . I always weigh in the morning before eating whenever I do.

    I fast on Mondays and Thursdays so I weight myself on Tuesdays and Fridays (after the fast because then I have the biggest loss haha). :smile:

    I dieted 2 years ago and my weigh day was always Thursday, but this time around it’s Tuesday. No reason, other than I started the diet on those days (so weighed myself to start) and stuck to the days throughout. It has made no major difference to my diet regimes, although I must admit I am a bit more conscious of my food intake on the weekends now than I was first time around, so I guess it’s a psychological matter which say suits you best.

    On Fridays first thing in the morning before breakfast. I prefer Fridays because if I overindulge on the weekend it gives me plenty of time to repair the damage :)

    I try to weigh myself as least as possible, because I feel sorry for scales.

    Monday morning. It helps keep me motivated to stay on track on the weekends, and if I don't I see the 'worst' come Monday morning.

    Monday mornings after I wake up. It keeps me honest over the weekend! Good luck with your journey.:smooched:

    Monday afternoon at the gym, pick my son up from school and we both weigh in before our workout. If ive gained, I know I need to work extra hard throughout the week to get a loss for the following week, I feel it to be cheating weighing in on a Friday to avoid the bad weekend habits.

    Every day! But then I log it into a data-smoothing app (I use Libra for Android) so that I see trends and ignore fluctuations. How you do it depends on your personality. Whatever works for you!

    Yeah, he's right, because the planets make the scales go down further on Wednesday....

    Bizarre comment from friend.

    I check in Monday mornings because weekends are my worst! I would negate all my good work if I didn't have checking in on my mind.
